Which of these?





In this scenario, you are given the option to choose your race. You will be born into the same family, have the same brain, etc, but your race would be whatever you select. Any changes would only come as a result of your race's impact on your life? Which may or may not occur to any or a small degree. Which would you choose?

I got these from some generic ethnicity classification website:

American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.

Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Black or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as "Haitian" or "Negro" can be used in addition to "Black or African American".

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Assuming that it doesn't mean having to live on a res and growing up in poverty, probably Native American. Granted, they're by far the most oppressed race in this country, but they get an almost unlimited free pass when it comes to complaining about immigrants >_> And, of course, it's one of the more attractive races.

White. But if somebody forced me to pick a different one, I'd go with East Asian (Japan, China, Singapore, any of the developed ones).

Doesn't all of them have an increased lifespan in most fictional universes?

generic cis white male is like the most boring and unwanted thing you can be these days, anything but that tbh
Well I don't want to be a woman just because I like being a man

I wouldn't want to be an Asian man because then I would be shorter, and western girls like taller men. I wouldn't want to live in Asia because they keep aborting their girls and it's much harder to find a girl. I wouldn't want to be black because racism, and almost every prominent black country is poor.

On the other side, South America has a wonderful sense of community that the first world just left behind.

Yeah I just really like being a white guy.

Elves are famous for having lifespans of thousands of years old in almost all iterations though.

Halfings no. Halflings live about as long as humans, since they're a copyright-evading low budget generic version of hobbits. Hobbits supposedly have roughly the same lifespan as humans and the only reason Bilbo lived as long as he did was through the Ring. Dwarfs vary by continuity, but elves are generally depicted as being nearly ageless. In Tolkien's works, they only seem to die of injury or disease.

Granted, elves -- in most continuities -- are basically humans+. They're portrayed as being the same height or taller, more attractive, far longer-lived, physically stronger, more agile, more magically attuned, greater resistance to disease, etc. The only thing that humans are better at is multiplying faster, since they always seem to wind up outnumbering elves and most other races.

Probably a reference to North Africa's Arab population since Arabs apparently count as white. Granted, Pakistanis count as Asian, so maybe it all evens out.
